Ancient rockers Don Hill and Nicki Camp will celebrate their birthdays at a "gala event" at -- you guessed it -- Don Hill's. They're saying it's a gala event because gala is only two syllables and four letters and they're getting very old. They're not Steve Lewis old, but very old indeed. Don has been around since before The Beatles (not the band, the species). As owner of Don Hill's, he's involved with booking the bands, hiring staff, community relations and PR, lighting, sound, and hell, at the end of the night he sweeps out the joint. I spent a year there last night talking to Don, Nicki, and my pal Mark Lewis. We talked about olden days and old friends alive and dead while I waited on a death metal band called Humanity Falls that I had promised to check out.
